Final
Jazz look to continue dominance at home
Dec 3, 2007 - 4:05 PM Miami (4-12) at Utah (12-5) 9:00 pm ESTSALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Ticker) -- The Utah Jazz look to keep rolling at home when they welcome in Dwyane Wade and the struggling Miami Heat on Monday.
With Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur unable to go due to injury, Andrei Kirilenko picked up his third career triple-double as the Jazz coasted to a 120-96 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.
"You need to concentrate and kind of cover for each other," said Kirilenko, who finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. "I think that's what we did. Still we need Booz and Memo to get back - as soon as possible."
Boozer and Okur both remain uncertain for Utah coach Jerry Sloan, whose team owns the third-best home record in the league at 7-1.
While the Jazz are enjoying great success here, Miami hopes to bounce back after getting buried, 115-89, at Denver in the opener of its six-game west Coast trip on Sunday.
Wade scored 13 points to pace Miami, which owns the worst record in the Eastern Conference.
Despite their early struggles, the Heat have dominated the series the previous four campaigns, winning the past seven meetings.
